A review by nhclarke
Gender Mosaic: Beyond the Myth of the Male and Female Brain by Luba Vikhanski, Daphna Joel

medium-paced

1.75

I was hopeful about the nuanced argument this book was claiming to make, but it was only skin-deep in terms of its logic. Full of anecdotal evidence, straw men and false equivalencies, and the conclusion doesn’t follow on at all from its premises. It’s possible that the authors are writing in a cultural context very different from my own, but this book felt about 10 years too late and not as groundbreaking as it hoped to be.
